2cricket Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I am kinda new to open source stuff and the first experience so far is kinda humbling. I thought i have done a couple sites in HTML before and this can't be too hard, but..... So i installed osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2 Update 051113 on an Apache server on Redhat with PHP 5.1.2 FTP'd catalog folder to my www folder on the server Changed permission on the catalog/includes/configure.php file to 777 thru chmod Went to www.2cricket.com/catalog/install/ all excited to get the install going...but no luck...got an 500 Internal Server instead After reading on the server site found out that error 500 was probably due to an conflicting .htaccess file and that i should delete or modify it. All read on some of the posts about register_globals beging commented out in the .htaccess file. Found out through phpinfo that register_globals are turned OFF on the server. Then tried to modify the .htaccess file by uncommenting 'php_value register_globals 1' at the bottom of the file. Did this in the catalog and admin folder. Went back to www.2cricket.com/catalog/install/ ...no luck... Then read about creating php.ini files and changing register_globals to ON Deleted .htaccess files from catalog and admin folders Created php.ini files with register_globals to ON Added this php.ini file to catalog and admin folder. Went back to www.2cricket.com/catalog/install/ ...no luck... I get forbidden page error - you do not have access to www.2cricket.com/catalog/install/ on this server. Changed URL to www.2cricket.com/catalog/ I still get forbidden page error - you do not have access to www.2cricket.com/catalog/install/index.php on this server. So i think i need to change access levels for the install and index.php files. Though it's not secure i decide to change access levels atleast to finish install. Change install.php and index.php files in www.2cricket.com/catalog/install to chmod of 777. Go back to www.2cricket.com/catalog/install/ No luck...abs no luck Now i am completely lost on what's wrong and how do i move ahead from here.... Can someone more knowledgeable please help......
